Alicia K cries at: Class Protector, fruit punch speech, and as soon as that music starts playing at the end of The Gift. Man, just thinking about that damn music gets her all sniffly.

Just chiming in briefly with the Little House on the Prarie Love. I still am excited when I catch it on TBS....My sister and I used to have Laura and Carrie dresses (I didn't want to be Mary and she is younger than I) that our aunt made for us and we frequently pressed our brother into playing 'Pioneers' a la Little House.

I had no idea that was the same actor, but I am also happy at the odd connection!!

(I didn't want to be Mary and she is younger than I)

But! But Mary was the pretty one!

(was the little one played by Shannon Doherty?)

No! Mary was the older sister of Laura, who later became blind (this followed Mary's real life) and married a blind teacher (the real Mary Ingalls never married).

Later on after Laura and Mary were married and their adopted brother (a fictional character, the only sons died shortly after death) left or died or whatever, Charles and Caroline took on orphans from somewhere, one of whom was played by Shannon Doherty. (Again this was fictional to drag out the series).

But they also had an original little sister named Carrie, right? Or am I making that up? If so, I'm doing a damn fine reconstruction in my mind!

(but Carrie wasn't played by SD)

Yes, there was a real little sister named Carrie -- but not played by SD.

yes, I think so. I used to be a big fan, for all that I've become lost to the forces of Corruption and Snark.

SD played Jenny Wilder.

And in googling to find that out, I found Little House fan fic. I was afraid to click any further.

Little House fan fic.

OK, that's just wrong. Ouf - it squicks me just looking at the words next to each other like that, practically touching. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Eww.
